Ultralight, superelastic pure graphene aerogel for piezoresistive sensing application
Source abstract
Abstract
Graphene aerogel (GA), with low density, high conductivity, and good mechanical properties, has important application potentials in the field of flexible electronics. Here, a balanced approach was developed in this work: Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were induced to assemble into a homogeneous porous hydrogel under alkali induction, and then, the oxygen-containing functional groups of GO were removed by reductant of formamidine sulfonic acid (FAS). Besides, the hydrogel of GA precursor can be quickly dried at a high temperature (150 °C) within 30 min to obtain pure GA of FGA. After further calcination, the obtained aerogel of AFGA with ordered structure has ultralow density (3.88 mg/cm3), high conductivity (7.4 S/m), supercompression recovery performance (99%), high sensitivity (S = 0.83 kPa−1), large reversible compression cycle performance (200 cycles under 90% strain), and high fatigue resistance (10,000 cycles under 70% strain), which presents excellent piezoresistive properties and can find wide applications in piezoresistive sensors as the high-performance sensing material.
